case study

I will advise that the case study should be structured in such a way that all partners can be more involved in the analysis.

It should be designed in such a way that the group will submit a short write up as a solution to the case study.With this, all partners will be more involved in the case study exercise.Kudos to all the lecturers.

The case study cases and the examples he used to explain were practical.

The case study activities were relevant to the material and having written assignments with peers reviewing was a nice change from just interacting with the instruc I found this course to be highly informative.

However, if there is a way that mentors from the university could also grade the case study assignments, it would be useful.

At times I found people randomly added me probably to access the case study but didn't bother to discuss.

Good content and different case study approach that was more interactive than other courses.

i look forward to study more here The modle through demostration, question quiz, and case study is very helpful for learning.

most often i see courses like these with just theory, but this module has case study and writing exercise which help the learner apply what they learn and that way muscle memory is built and you remember the modules for a long time.

The entire course material containing the videos,the writing assignments, Quiz and case study discussions on making and implementing decisions individually and in groups and all the discussions focused on being a good leader was well structured and will help a lot at work place when leading and working with a team.
